*Must qualify for the Farm Energy Discount Program through the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources in order to receive this rate.
The Town of Boxborough passed the majority vote on Article 41: Green Community Renewable Energy Trust Fund Surcharge at their annual town meeting on May 8th, 2023.
As a result, Boxborough contributes a renewable energy surcharge of $0.0005 (or 1/20th of one cent) per kilowatt-hour, to the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC), in order to become designated as a Green Community to access clean-energy funding and resources associated with the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources.
Littleton Electric Light Department collects this surcharge on behalf of the Town of Boxborough to support their designation requirement of being a Green Community.
